Answer:
The uranium in the sample of the compound is radioactive
Explanation:
Some atoms can split on their own. Some split when bombarded by energetic particles. Such atoms are said to be radioactive.
Radioactivity is borne out of the drive of an atom to reach stabillity. Every atom have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures stability of the nucleus. A nucleus with a stability ratio different from that which makes it stable will become unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with emissons of energetic particles.
Note: neutrons and protons dictates the mass of an atom. They are located in the nucleus which is the site for nuclear radioactive reactions.
A carbon-12 atom has 6 protons (6P) and 6 neutrons (6N). But some types of carbon have more than six neutrons. We call forms of elements that have a different number of neutrons, isotopes. For example, carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon that has six protons and eight neutrons in its nucleus.

Answer:
4.4×10² cm³
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Diameter (d) = 68.3 mm
Height (h) = 0.120 m
Volume (V) =?
Next, we shall convert the diameter (i.e 68.3 mm) to cm.
This can be obtained as follow:
10 mm = 1 cm
Therefore
68.3 mm = 68.3 mm / 10 mm × 1 cm
68.3 mm = 6.83 cm
Therefore, the diameter 68.3 mm is equivalent 6.83 cm.
Next, we shall convert the height (i.e 0.120 m) to cm. This can be obtained as follow:
1 m = 100 cm
Therefore,
0.120 m = 0.120 m/ 1 m × 100 cm
0.120 m = 12 cm
Therefore, the height 0.120 m is equivalent 12 cm.
Next, we shall determine the radius of the cylinder. This can be obtained as follow:
Radius (r) is simply half of a diameter i.e
Radius (r) = Diameter (d) /2
r = d/2
Diameter (d) = 6.83 cm
Radius (r) =?
r = d/2
r = 6.83/2
r = 3.415 cm
Finally, we shall determine the volume of the cylinder as follow:
Radius (r) = 3.415 cm
Height (h) = 12 cm
Volume (V) =?
Pi (π) = 3.14
V = πr²h
V = 3.14 × (3.415) ² × 12
V = 440 cm³
V = 4.4×10² cm³
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 4.4×10² cm³
Answer:
A and E
Explanation:
Backbone is the part of skeletal system and is made of 26 vertebrae in total. The backbone and bones of lower limbs together serve to support the body's weight. Backbone surrounds and protects the spinal cord. Since the vertebrae of backbone are joints together by synovial joints, it allows the flexibility and movement of organisms.
Answer:
2-4 minutes
Explanation:
Fastest changing temperature means larger change in temperature when subtracting final temperature from initial temperature in a given time period (given time period is 2 minutes for all the options)
For 0-2 minutes, our final temperature was 40 (at 2 min) and initial temperature was 20 (at 0 min), thus temperature change was only 20 C.
For 2-4, our final temperature was 80 (at 4 min) and initial temperature was 40 (at 2 min) thus temperature change was 40 C.
For 4-6, our final temperature was 100 (at 6 min) and initial temperature was 80 (at 4 min) thus temperature change was 20 C.
We are not given temperature at 8 min so option D is invalid.
As we can clearly see that in a given 2 minute period, option B has the fastest change because it changed 40C when compared to other options that changed only 20C from starting temperature.
Hope that makes sense.
